Chapter 265 Is Green Tea Contagious?(1/2)
"Our short video platform is divided into two modes: amateur and professional. I think the senior management team should also be divided into these two modes."
“To be honest, very disappointed!”
"For such a simple problem, any one of my original five-person self-media team could come up with a solution in minutes, and it would be better and more perfect than what I just proposed."
"Actually, we are all very good talents. I also know that the initial establishment of the team does require running-in, but to behave like this is very inconsistent with my psychological expectations. Because facing this problem cannot be solved on the one hand, and the attitude towards facing the problem
Another aspect."
"The first way to deal with disagreements is to seek common ground while reserving differences. Put aside disputes about disagreement points, refine and implement the similarities, and then automatically choose the direction of the disagreement points through more and more new data and new results. The core here
It’s all about advancement, and the advancement of new data will lead to the possibility of resolving everyone’s disagreements. To this end, many processes and sequences of work can be rearranged.”
"But what do you do? Stop working when you encounter disagreements?"
"You can't think of a solution and are stuck in a dispute. Can't more than 400 employees come up with it? Why don't you tell them the problem and let them think about it together? Even if these hundreds of employees think of many solutions, you still can't decide.
Which method to choose, can't you report it to the board of directors and let the board of directors vote on it?"
"It's only been a few days since the company was established, and it's already starting to get sick in big companies? Is the communication between superiors and subordinates so bloated? I don't care which unit you were originally from. When you get to Yunxiao, you must forget your old rotten things. You can't forget it. Yunxiao
I will forget you."
Gao Yun's tone was not intense, he was calm and gentle, but his words showed that he was furious.
This series of words made the senior executives sit on pins and needles, with a thorn in their backs.
Actually, this is a bit of an exaggeration. Generally speaking, Gao Yun is very satisfied with this group of senior management teams. After recruiting so many people in three days, he has begun to develop the K12 online education platform, which will be available and operational within two months.
It is said to be very efficient.
Some things are not done well. It is understandable that there are certain problems in communication between teams. As I said, it has only been three days. The team executives may have just joined the job today and they don't even remember each other's names.
What are we talking about communication and tacit understanding? This speed is not that of a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW, it is at the level of a supercar. What else is needed for an aerospace rocket...
But why is he talking like this now?
Because most of these people were not recruited by Gao Yun, they were either the original team members of Siya Education, which accounted for 20% of the shares, or they were recommended by Shen Bowen. The CEO was not him, but Fang Yun.
Gao Yun and Shen Qiongxiao, as the actual shareholders and the real bosses of the company, must tell them who is the boss of the company at this time.
When an opportunity came to his door, he naturally took it.
Shen Qiongxiao said: "This is already being done. Chief Strategy Officer He Zhe is selecting candidates to establish an internal forum within the company to strengthen communication between superiors and subordinates."
He Zhe, who had previously remained neutral and silent, spoke up: "The forum will be online and put into use in two days."
"Very good, give me an account then, and I'll take a look around."
Gao Yun gently turned the story around: "My subsequent 300 million yuan will be received in advance in these two months to support the company's rapid development. Although Yunxiao is a start-up company, there must be no shortage of funds. I hope
Under the leadership of Director Fang Yun, with Director Fang as the core, you will put Yunxiao on the right track as soon as possible. It’s okay for the leadership to have different views on the company’s development. It’s even a good thing to have arguments, but I don’t want to get involved in other issues.
, It’s a matter of business, and if it really can’t be solved, it should be submitted directly to the board of directors, who will make the decision.”
If a team has two people who both want to lead the team, then it will encounter a serious problem.
From Gao Yun's point of view, today's incident is not a good sign, so he can just kill it and be done with it.
And in the end, the leader must be Fang Yun. She is the CEO, and the company was built by Shen Fang and his wife. Without Shen Qiongxiao, it can operate without even having any impact, but without Fang Yun, it will be difficult to move forward.
What's more, in Gao Yun's view, Shen Qiongxiao is too young. It is his first time to start a business. His view on certain issues is still incomplete and immature. At the same time, he does not have enough prestige and needs to grow.
"Small……"
Fang Yun subconsciously spoke, but when he realized it, he immediately changed his words and nodded with a gentle smile: "Thank you, Chairman, for your trust."
"Okay, Chairman."
Shen Qiongxiao also had no objection and even smiled.
Gao Yun was silent while drinking tea when he saw this. The reaction of the two people suddenly made him realize that something was wrong, very wrong!
Only now did the context of this matter become clear in his mind, and he thought he had seized the opportunity to let the executives know who was the boss of the company.
In fact, this opportunity was handed over to him by the mother and daughter, and they acted it for him. Then the senior executives collectively got a kick out of it, and the three of them acted together.
It seems that mother and daughter had different opinions on the development of the short video project, which caused disagreements among the senior management team.
But for such a trivial matter, there is some serious disagreement between mother and daughter. If there is really a disagreement, the board of directors will definitely be convened to make a resolution, and it will be resolved through private discussion, so...
"The topic was initiated by Shen Qiongxiao. It was her girlfriend who deliberately put on a show for me. On the surface, she was acting coquettishly and wanted me to support her. In fact, she wanted to take this opportunity to let me speak and interfere in the management of the company. No matter where you choose, If one party proposes other ideas, both parties will immediately agree and implement them to establish the authority of their own chairman."
"Fang Yun must have realized that, so he deliberately asked me what I thought. And even if I chose Shen Qiongxiao, it didn't affect her image as CEO, because she didn't speak from the beginning to the end and never really expressed her support. Which side, it’s just a few executives related to her speaking.”
Both of their original intentions were for Gao Yun's good. Shen Qiongxiao really wanted to start a business with her boyfriend and work together to build a career. Fang Yun also wanted to train the young couple's abilities and let them take over the management of the company and take over as soon as possible?
It took a lot of effort for you too...
Thoughts in his mind went back and forth, Gao Yun put down his tea cup and sighed; he couldn't make the salted fish, so let's take care of it first. If he and Teacher Shen really have any different opinions in the future, the other party should be able to listen to him...
"Secretary Wang, use your mobile phone to record the video. I will say a few words and record them."
"OK."
Gao Yun decided to give full play to his strengths and pretend to be awesome. Damn it, he pretended a lot today, not least this one!
"That's it!"
Watching the female secretary raise her iPhone 11 to open the video, Gao Yun stood up calmly facing the camera, picked up the book "When Human Stars Shine" and walked to the stage. He said slowly: "Today is a very ordinary day in history. Nothing big happened, but in the future, people will remember today, and the world will remember today. Because today, right now, in this venue of less than 100 square meters, Yunxiao held its first management meeting. "
"Papa~"
The executives had different thoughts, but at least they showed a posture of listening attentively. Li Min wanted to applaud, but Gao Yun waved his hand to stop it, and the scene returned to tranquility again.
Gao Yun thought for a moment and said: "You may think I am talking big words, like 'people will remember today, the world will remember today', nonsense! You think I am exaggerating to deceive you and brainwash you. Some people even disagree.
Of course you can think so with the mentality of watching a drama, but you should also understand that every entrepreneur must be able to tell stories. An entrepreneur who cannot draw a pie shows that he is pessimistic about the business he is doing.
The unclear blueprint he drew shows that he is confused. Therefore, what I want to talk about now represents the vision of Yunxiao and Yunxiao's future in the minds of everyone on the board of directors."
"You can choose to believe it and let's keep doing it together, or you can choose not to believe it and then be discovered and kicked out. This cannot be faked."
The court was quiet, and everyone looked at Gao Yun.
He picked up the book and gestured: "It happens that I saw this book today. The content in the book has greatly inspired and motivated me. Some people have read it and some have not, but it doesn't matter. I just
Quote a sentence from it.”
"The success of a miracle or an extraordinary undertaking depends on one's own belief, which is to believe in this miracle."
“So, being able to organize a group of smart people together to carry out an extraordinary undertaking definitely does not rely on the leader’s personal charisma or management skills, or even on monetary rewards, but on common ideals that are clear in advance.”
After a pause, Gao Yun shook his head and said: "Actually, I really don't want to talk about ideals with you, because all of you sitting here are not children. You have passed the age of being full of passion and simple minds. The average age is forty years old.
Bar?"
Another chief information officer who had previously remained neutral, Duan Yu, an executive of the Yuanyuan Tutoring online education platform, suddenly said: "I have calculated that at the age of thirty-five, although everyone looks anxious, they are actually still relatively young.
There is still plenty of passion and enthusiasm for entrepreneurship. Chairman, you can’t slander us because we are young and we are old because we don’t have that drive!”
Gao Yun smiled: "Ah, Old Duan, you have to shoulder a big blame for this problem. Look, your hair is all gray."
Others also laughed, and the tense atmosphere before was relieved a little.
"He's not just white-headed, he's also a little bald."
"Everyone is either in the education or IT industry. After doing so much, they must look old."
Gao Yun continued: "Yes, you have all been immersed in your respective industries for many years and are stars in your industry. To a certain extent, you have achieved success. When I talk about these general things like ideals, you
I shouldn’t be able to listen, and that’s what worries me the most.”
"An organization once conducted a survey, and one of the questions was: When you are preparing to start a business, do you want to work with someone who is just starting out but shares the same ideals, or do you want to find someone who has worked for decades?
What about starting a business together with experienced people? The survey shows that almost 100% of people answered the latter. However, it turns out that this is extremely wrong. To start a business, you need to find the most suitable people, not the best people."
Ma Yun once made a similar mistake. When Alibaba was first established, because he thought he had ideas but no experience, all the company's senior executives were hired from outside. The 18 colleagues who initially started the business with Ma Yun only Group managers were arranged. But 10 years later, all these external people left, and the people whose abilities Ma Yun once doubted have become senior executives or even presidents of Alibaba.
After Gao Yun told them about this well-known true event in the Internet industry, he said: "So, this fit is a common goal, a common mission, and a general agreement of values. If you find a star team to start a business with you, the other party will have a lot of resources and a network of relationships. Because of this, the company develops very quickly, but if his three views are not suitable for you, you will have differences before long, and both parties will be very tired. Therefore, in the early stage of starting a business, it is best to find those who have not yet succeeded and are eager to succeed. People who have ordinary unity and common ideals. I won’t say more about this truth, I believe everyone understands it.”
Shen Qiongxiao held her chin with one hand and looked at her boyfriend in concentration, wondering what she was thinking.
Fang Yun glanced at the expressions of other executives and saw that they were all paying attention. He felt a little emotional, feeling that his retirement day was not very far away...
"But! Everything has pros and cons, and not everything is so absolute."
Gao Yun's voice changed: "Since Yunxiao has chosen you and you have chosen Yunxiao, it means that your ideals and Yunxiao's ideals are at least consistent to varying degrees."
"What is Yunxiao's ideal or purpose?"
Purpose is the basic purpose of the formation and existence of an enterprise. This content puts forward the value concept of the enterprise, as well as the basic social responsibility and expectation of the enterprise to contribute to society in some aspects.
Alibaba’s mission is to make it easy to do business anywhere in the world
Huawei's mission is to bring the digital world into every person, every home, and every organization, and build a smart world where everything is connected.
Tencent's mission is to use technology for good and use digital innovation to improve the quality of human life.
…
Gao Yun asked and answered himself: "Speaking of Yunxiao's purpose, we must first talk about the nature of Yunxiao. Yunxiao is an Internet company on the surface, but it is actually a school. A school that can educate everyone in the world, regardless of poverty. Or a school that is rich and can provide education at all levels, and everyone can learn what they need in the sky."
"Mencius said: A gentleman has three kinds of happiness, but he has no control over the world. The first happiness is having parents and brothers without any reason. The second happiness is to look up to heaven and not be ashamed of others. To get the world's talents and educate them, the third happiness is Happy."
